The Tesoro Collection, featuring exclusives styles by Natalie Simkins, celebrates the effortless elegance of the Amalfi Coast and the French Riviera. Inspired by the global woman, each piece showcases artisanal craftsmanship and is thoughtfully created using upcycled materials sourced from Australia, Africa, and Europe.
“Bahari” means sea in Swahili—a powerful symbol of how these women, like the sea, sustain life in their communities. Inspired by the proverb, “Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime,” this collection represents lasting empowerment. Every purchase creates jobs for women and fuels generational change.
From Sofia Coppola’s luxurious family retreat in beautiful Bernalda, Italy, to the beaches of Kate Winslet’s secret Scottish hideaway of Eilean Shona, to Kate Moss’s favorite beach in the Maldives, each of these thirty-six personal tales of the loveliest spots around the globe are packed with anecdotes and lyrical descriptions to transport readers. The photography bursting across each page—from the crystal waters and azure skies of UXUA Casa Hotel & Spa, to the lush hillsides of Sri Lanka, to the hipster hangouts of Portland, Oregon—adds to the allure, inspiring a new desire to discover these beloved corners of the world.

Founder
Martine Assouline
Martine Assouline was born in the Ivory Coast and grew up in Peru before moving to Europe, where she studied interior design in Switzerland and law in France. Following her studies, she worked in public relations for several companies before becoming the head of communication at Rochas, the French fashion and beauty brand. In 1994, Martine founded Assouline with her husband, Prosper, launching a luxury publishing house offering a new style of books. The company quickly became a leader within the fashion and luxury industries as a world-renowned publishing brand. Since then, Assouline has published more than 1,700 books covering art, travel, design and more, with distribution channels and branded boutiques all over the world.
Founded in Paris in 1994 by Prosper and Martine Assouline, Assouline is the first luxury brand on culture. It began with the desire to create a new, contemporary style of book, using the couple’s experienced eye for visually rich stories and compelling narratives. Guided by their passion for knowledge, culture and travel, the Assoulines have since expanded their vision to 1,700 titles in three main collections, along with special editions and unique library accessories—a grand oeuvre of inspiring creations. Throughout the last quarter-century, the brand has established a network of boutiques in prominent locations across the globe. Assouline has also inaugurated a curated-library service, working closely with clients to design and develop bespoke libraries. With a distinguished team of creative talents—which includes the founders’ son Alexandre—the brand continues to reinvent the notion of true luxury. Assouline’s roster of collaborators includes some of the world’s most respected brands, artists, photographers, writers and designers. Assouline continues to exude an unparalleled signature style and savoir faire, and has redefined modern international publishing.
